Expansion In Tube

I’ve made it to pumping for 30 minutes. All one set, although dial down the pressure at the ten and twenty minute marks to allow some blood flow. Staying in the tube.

Anyway, so around the end of the 30 minutes, thats when my expansion is maxxed. Currently at just shy of 7-1/4”. I’m curious if that’s where the most productive time in the tube is. This seems to come around the last 5minutes of my 30 minute session. I start out gradual and low pressure; 3-4HG and then 5hg until I hit 25 minutes and then I increase a bit more. Maybe 6-7hg.

If I go right to 6-7hg from the start. I can’t get past 7”. It does take time to expand out over the duration.

Takes me one hour for max expansion.

Max length expansion in the tube doesn’t seem to correlate with maximum penis length growth, at least for me.

I can get a little more length from pumping for an hour rather than 20 minutes, but hour long pumping sessions for months don’t seem to produce more length gains.

I remember when I first started pumping I got much more length in the tube. But it didn’t seem to translate to growth. As the penis becomes more accustomed to pumping, the length increase in the tube seems to diminish significantly. I seem to remember being able to pump to 9.5” length in the tube at somewhere between 15 and 25 inHg when I got my first one, but it didn’t translate to gains.

Immediately after pumping for an hour, my erection is only about .25” longer than normal for about 5 minutes. After pumping 20 minutes, my penis isn’t any longer than my normal erection, but there’s growth over time.

If I use a higher vacuum pressure like 15 inHg, normally I use 4.5 - 5 inHg, I can get a tiny bit more length post pump, but it doesn’t seem to contribute to gains.

Whether it’s jelqing, pumping, or stretching, there seems to be a window where it produces growth and more is actually counter productive. Clamping is probably the exception to that rule, but clamping seems to self limit growth through injuries, loss of sensitivity, and scar tissue. You can gain significantly in a relatively short amount of time through clamping, but it comes at a heavy cost and probably will prevent you from reaching the much larger sizes as your penis becomes a flaccid lump of insensitive collagen scar tissue.

The key for me was staying elongated in the cylinder for a hour or so. After years this translated to a 2” gain in length.

How long did it take to work up to an hour, or how long did it take you to figure this out?

I am experimenting with time and pressures to find my limits, I gave myself red dots, which I am pretty sure was from too much vacuum pressure. Longest so far in tube without any problems was 25 min, but after refreshing I noticed edema in the foreskin during the second set and called it quits.

Low and long seems to be the best, it is just so tempting to keep pumping on the handle.

-3 or -5 hg seem to both eventually produce the same results, more than -5, while hastening and maximizing the expansion, does not seem to produce better results than lower for longer.

This PE stuff requires a lot of mental discipline!

I am going to try -3 for a spell today and see if it produces the same edema as -5 did when pushing over 20 minutes.

The goal seems to be to get expanded beyond a normal erect state for a prolonged time, without any negative PI, and not necessary to achieve “maximum” potential expansion in a short time, and suffer the inevitable negative PIs that go along with high pressures.

It took months to work up to hour sets. I found out I was growing when I kept repeating staying longer than my BPEL.

To minimize trauma, I find it is best to always start at the lower pressures and work your way up.

Overtime the penis becomes conditioned to pumping; soon you will be able to take more time in the tube if you keep doing it .

If you increase 5 minutes every week or every couple of weeks you could pump longer soon, and try to use heat to get max expansion

Heat is the key for expansion and elongation for me.

Hey Titlest,

How much manual stretching do you contribute to your length gains outside of pumping?
Did you ever stretch on off days or stretch hours pre or post pump workout?

I find that I can easily stay in the tube for 1 hour without conditioning and my PIs are fine. Not sure if this is attributed to PE conditioning years ago.

I just want 2” in length and the top half (Glans and MSEG) to even out with the lower girth (5.5/5.7” BSEG). Any bonus girth is a bonus but not my focus.
Other than heat, do you have any other tips or tweaks to a 1 hour session. During or after a workout to help increase success?

Thanks if you can answer any would be appreciated.
